The woman involved responded that she went to celebrate her grandma's birthday and there were many people eating, so she ate at a separate table from the elders who were drinking. In fact, the dishes were all the same.
An apparently normal thing has led some people to regard it as a reason to "blackmail" Shandong people.
In particular, some "pastoral women's rights" have struck again and started to exaggerate that "girls are not allowed to eat at the table in Shandong" and "men and women eat at separate tables in Shandong, which is discriminatory against women."
The reason why this matter has such a bizarre interpretation is that in recent years, the public opinion field has frequently stirred up the topic of "Shandong women do not eat at the table", which has caused many people to have stereotypes about Shandong people, thinking that Shandong families,
There are many bad habits, disrespect for women, and even discrimination against women.
Therefore, when a girl goes to her boyfriend's house in Shandong to share a table for dinner, even if it is a normal thing, it will be over-interpreted.
Those who drink are generally men, and those who don't drink are generally women. That's why men and women are separated into separate tables. In fact, it has nothing to do with discrimination, nor does it have anything to do with "not letting girls sit at the table."
Also, after all, it is a family dinner, and there are always people cooking and working, and usually cooking and eating are done at the same time.
Therefore, in many cases, it is not that women do not come to the table, but that they are still busy taking care of the guests.
Based on these judgments and cognitions, if we look at the girl going to her boyfriend's house in Shandong to share a table for dinner, we will find that it is not a big deal.
Not only does it not mean any discrimination or disrespect, but we also see the care and deep love that Shandong men have for their wives.
Shandong men take good care of their families.
Having said all this, what I want to express is not that people from Shandong are necessarily good or have nothing wrong with them.
But I hope that on the Internet, everyone will not be harmed by "stereotypes". Don't just use a few words to talk about things. Don't make random judgments just after seeing a few pictures. Don't make random decisions without fully understanding the true situation of the matter.
Panjie deliberately blackmails us Shandong people, which is unacceptable to us.
Instead, we need to feel the details of folk customs with our hearts, examine the specific situation from a more macro perspective, and don't make preconceptions, stick to the outline and go online, and go dark for the sake of being dark.
Not only is this unnecessary, it's also emotionally damaging.
